Do your imports ever stop completely? I have a very difficult time importing CDs. Like you, I sometimes get very fast imports and other times the imports crawl, stop completely, and I must force quit iTunes in order to get the CD out.

My Superdrive went to pieces (not literally, although it sounded like that when I tried to import some of my CDs), and it's just been exchanged.

Speeds now fluctuate between about 10x to as high as 22x. I can find no pattern, as brand new CDs that have just been unwrapped are as likely to reach 10x as 22x, while three-four year old CDs can be imported at 22x.

Btw, I've imported quite a few CDs on my two year old MacBook, and for some reason speed is 100% consistent (reaching about 10x at the end of the import). This is all very strange.
